Since the rain began Wednesday afternoon, 3.2 inches fell in Salinas, 4.72 inches in Carmel Valley and 10.52 inches in Big Sur, said Diana Henderson, National Weather Service meteorologist .

Amounts varied in Monterey with more than 7 inches falling at Andrew Molera State Park and just 3 inches at the Monterey Regional Airport, she said.

Henderson said the rainfall amounts were normal for this time of year.

More than 2,000 homes were without power Sunday but less than 50 were without by Monday night, said Pacific Gas & Electric Co.

There is a 10 to 30 percent chance of rain Tuesday and a 50 percent chance Wednesday, said the National Weather Service. Emergency workers said they were not concerned because only light rain is expected.

There were about 40 crashes on highways and unincorporated areas of the county in the five day stretch, said preliminary data from the California Highway Patrol.

CHP Officer Robert Lehman could not verify if the accidents were weather related but said "certainly there is a correlation. The wetter the roads, the more crashes we tend to see."

There were 14 crashes Friday, the day of heaviest rainfalls in some areas, Lehman said.

"The majority of crashes are caused by people failing to compensate for the weather," he said. "People not slowing down, giving themselves enough following distance, making sure their vehicles are in good enough shape."

Sherrie Collins, Monterey County emergency services manager, said the county could still be at risk for mudslides but that, for now it seems like the county is out of danger.

She said the county avoided potential hazards like a quickly rising Carmel Lagoon. Public Works employees did work on the sandbar to prevent flooding, she said.

Collins said she hoped the storm would help the county prepare for what is to come.

"For a number of folks, it was probably a good precursor to getting ready for the winter storm season," Collins said.

The CHP's Lehman was less optimistic. "We hope so," he said of preparedness. "We don't get continuous wet weather, we get a good chunk of storms and then it dries out. In that time, a lot of folks forget what they need to do to keep themselves safe on the road."
